“It is positive to hear that Mastercard is taking the lead and developing a European Cyber Resilience Centre to help improve the detection and combatting of payment cyberthreats. With the number of threats growing in the sector – there was a 7% increase in banking malware and phishing between 2018 and 2019 – it is vital that all banks and financial institutions join together in the fight against cybercrime, whilst also achieving and maintaining a strong individual cybersecurity posture, to help keep consumers safe.”
